“Say what you like about the Tories but at least David Cameron is a decent man!”
And you are basing this on what exactly?
Cameron is just polished for the media – he used to work as Director of Corporate Affairs for Carlton Television for God’s sake.
Brown on the other hand – unpolished and not media savvy. He has obviously got faults but show me someone who hasn’t. Brown has got my vote; best man for the job no question.
As for some of the comments regarding Brown’s policies being to blame for the banking crisis and UK recession – The Tories argued for LESS regulation of the banks – imagine the carnage if they had got their way. Even Ken Clarke has admitted that Labour’s decision to nationalise Northern Rock was the right move. The idea of blaming the UK Prime Minister for a global recession also confuses me. As we slowly begin to recover from recession, I can only imagine the Tories are gutted that Brown and Darling have steadied the ship. Could George Osborne have done that? The idea of him as Chancellor makes me shudder.
And I agree that there is no need for an election every time a new PM takes over – I believe Churchill wouldn’t have become PM if that had been the case, John Major too.
For anyone who plans to vote Tory at the next election, please bare in mind Cameron and the Tory party election broadcasts are spouting an ungodly amount of bilge, almost as much as the Murdoch owned right wing media.
Labour (in addition to admitted mistakes) can list tangible achievements, whilst all the Tories can do is attack attack attack. In my mind during their 17 years, the Conservatives achieved zilch.
